'Go Joe XIII' kicks off at University Park

WNEP-TV did a live remote broadcast from Penn State's University Park campus on Monday morning, July 19, to kick off "Go Joe XIII for St. Joseph's Center," a charity bike ride undertaken by Joe Snedeker, Newswatch 16's morning meteorologist.

Spanier, second from left, joined WNEP-TV Newswatch 16 This Morning anchor Tom Williams, left, and meteorologist Joe Snedeker during the news program's live broadcast on Penn State's University Park campus on Monday morning, July 19. The show went live from the campus several times, in advance of the kickoff of Snedeker's charity bike ride, Go Joe XIII, which raises money for St. Joseph's Center in Dunmore, Pa.

Cameraman Bill Schultz got shots of Penn State's University Park campus from the Old Main bell tower for WNEP-TV's live broadcast. Although Schultz, a 1988 Penn State alumnus, was a Lion Ambassador, he never made it up into the bell tower until this assignment.

Penn State cheerleaders, Go Joe fans and members of the WNEP-TV crew, including meteorologist Joe Snedeker (wearing the football hat) can be seen from the Old Main bell tower as they wait for their next live segment for the station's morning news program. They were in town to kick off Snedeker's charity bike ride, Go Joe XIII.

During one of his live cut-ins to the WNEP-TV Newswatch 16 This Morning program, anchor Tom Williams, a 1987 Penn State alumnus, told viewers about the Old Main bell, which was moved this year from the tower seen in the background to its current location.

Joining them and show host Tom Williams, second from left, is Jon Nese, senior lecturer in meteorology and one of the hosts of Penn State's Weather World.

With Penn State President Graham B. Spanier leading the way, WNEP-TV Newswatch 16's Morning Meteorologist Joe Snedeker embarks upon his charity bicycle ride, Go Joe XIII, to benefit St. Joseph's Center in Dunmore. Over the last 12 years, Snedeker has raised more than $1 million for the center, which serves severely mentally and physically challenged children and young adults.
